It's even easier on Mrs. Cao's side.
She is a social master in the circle of ladies, so it would be easier for Mrs. Dong Wu to relax.
First, he quietly talked to Dong Wu about making luozi and making banbu, and then slowly talked about the innovation of handicrafts.
This statement, referring to Dong Wu's specialty, made her smile brightly, and her whole body relaxed a lot.
The two families sat together for lunch at noon. Cao Xinyao pursed her lips and began to introduce the other members of the Cao family to Dong Nuan.
"Now that we have time, let's go to the capital and have a look. Grandma, uncle and the others are all in the capital..." Cao Xinyao said while picking up vegetables for Dong Nuan.
As he talked, he talked about the third girl: "By the way, you still have a third sister, but Xinyue is not in good health and can't stand the heat. She returned to the capital at the beginning of last month. When the weather gets cold, she will
She's back, she's soft-tempered, timid, and easy to get along with, so you don't have to panic."
Cao Xinyue should be the name of the third girl.
Dong Nuan nodded to show that he understood, and Cao Xinyao quickly talked about other people: "There are two of our brothers. The second brother is studying in the Imperial College and is usually very busy with schoolwork. It is estimated that we can only do it when we go to the capital.
When I saw him, my third brother was studying in my hometown, but he went on a study tour at the end of May. I haven’t heard from him for more than half a month. I don’t know where he went. I want to see him. It’s fate.”
Mentioning this third brother, Cao Xinyao had a teasing smile on his face. It could be seen that Mr. Cao had an unfettered personality.
Otherwise, depending on the status of Magistrate Cao, it should be possible to send both young masters to the Imperial College.
It's just that the third young master didn't go, or his grades were too bad to be seen, but he was able to study in the government, probably because of his true ability.
Then there is only one other type left, which is unwilling to be restrained. After all, the Imperial College is a high-end institution, and the usual requirements are relatively strict, so it is normal that some people can't stand it and are unwilling to go.
Cao Xinyao spoke slowly, giving Dong Nuan enough time to digest. After a while, he mentioned other people: "As for the cousins, there are two of them. They are both brothers from the eldest uncle's family. They are all in the capital now. The eldest cousin is already in the Ministry of Industry.
Even though I’m still in office, my fourth brother is still studying in the Imperial College.”
Dong Nuan thought about it in her mind, and she roughly figured out the order of the four young masters in the Cao family. The eldest cousin of the uncle's family should be the first, then the eldest son of the family, the second, then the freedom-loving second brother, the third.
Then came the uncle's second cousin.
After the brothers finished talking, Cao Xinyao talked about the sisters in Uncle Cao's family: "I told you before, some of the sisters in Uncle Cao's family, as you know, eldest sister, have entered the palace and become beauties, and they are still favored now.
I am your second sister."
Having said this, Cao Xinyao proudly raised her head to Dong Nuan. The meaning was obvious, call her sister quickly.
Dong Nuan narrowed her eyes obediently, tilted her head and said, "Hello, second sister."
Upon hearing Dong Nuan's soft voice, Cao Xinyao nodded happily: "Okay, okay, sister will give you something good later."
After speaking, he quickly changed the subject: "As you know, Third Sister, she is not in good health and timid. You will know when you meet her later. Your fourth and fifth sisters are all from the uncle's family. They have to wait until they get to the capital."
See you."
The population of the Cao Mansion is not complicated. According to Cao Xinyao, Mrs. Cao only has Master Cao from the capital and Master Cao from Liangzhou.
As for the others?
I guess you need to get in touch slowly.
I was very busy today, eating, drinking and talking. Most of the day has passed and it is not easy to rush back to town.
Therefore, they must stay overnight in the warm winter.
Regarding Dong Yao's academic issues, Mr. Cao also asked a lot: "Should I find a private school in Fucheng and let my little brother study here?"
Regarding this topic, Dong Nuan has already said it a long time ago. If Dong Yao adapts to the rhythm of the town, it is okay to stay in the town.
Of course, the resources in Fucheng are definitely much better than those in the town. If Dong Yao is willing, he can also transfer here.
Dong Sanchun has now learned to discuss everything with the children and see their opinions.
Although they are young, they still have their own ideas, and they will make the final decision after careful consideration.
Therefore, Dong Sanchun first thanked Mr. Cao: "Thank you, brother, for worrying about me. I will go back and ask the child. If he is willing, I can find him again."
Coming to Fucheng is not just a matter of coming, there are still follow-up things to consider.
The house in Fucheng...
In winter and spring, I don’t dare to think about it.
He subconsciously looked at Dong Nuan, but Dong Nuan was chatting happily with Cao Xinyao and didn't notice his gaze.
This forced him to take it back and think slowly on his own.
Lord Cao looked at this scene and had a deeper understanding of the Dong family's situation.
Because there was still a child at home, they left after breakfast the next day in Winter and Spring. There were still many fruits ripening on the farm in Winter and Warmth, and the flowers also needed to be harvested.
Of course Cao Xinyao was reluctant to part with it, and left directly with Dong Nuan.
Mrs. Cao actually wanted to follow, but when she looked at the sky outside and felt the temperature outside, she gave in.
On this hot day, she didn't even want to leave the courtyard.
"Nuan Nuan, do you have enough maids and servants around you? Do you want to send a few from the house? If there is no one you like here, mother will ask Ya Po to send some people over and let you choose!"
There was a Dianthus beside Chu Dongnuan, which made Mrs. Cao feel distressed.
However, she will not directly take charge of Dong Nuan, but will seek her opinion first.
The little girl is a very independent person. If she makes a decision directly, the other party may not be happy.
We really need to add more people around us. Dong Nuan believes in Mrs. Cao's vision, so when she heard her say this, she quickly bowed obediently: "Then I'll ask my foster mother to help me choose a few people."
"You kid, we are all part of the same family. We have to salute here and there, how tiring it is." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cao was quite happy to let her make the decision.
Holding Dong Nuan's hand, I felt so reluctant to let go.
However, they still have to go back to town in the winter and spring. If they leave too late, they don't know how long they will have to go back.
Dong Nuan and the others quickly left in a carriage. Mrs. Cao stood at the door for a while, then sighed and walked back.
Mr. Cao is still not on duty today, and family matters are still important after all.
As Mrs. Cao walked away, she whispered: "Do you know what the Dong family gave Yaoyao?"
"Huh?" Mr. Cao doesn't care much about this kind of thing. Most of these entertainment preparations are made by Mrs. Cao, so he can just wait for them to be ready.
At this time, I was asked a question, and I was still a little confused. I turned my head in confusion, waiting for the lady's answer.
Seeing this, Mrs. Cao snorted softly: "The Dong family has prepared a pure mud inkstone and a pure gold begonia. I think Nuannuan helped prepare these. Yaoyao will get married at the end of the year, so they will be used."
these things."
Doctor Cao didn't hear anything else, but he heard the Chengni Inkstone. His eyes immediately lit up. If he hadn't been concerned about his image, he would have wanted to rub his hands: "Chengni Inkstone? Where is it? Let me take a look."
